Apple is Set to Leverage Google's Gemini AI for Next Gen Siri Experience
In a move that cements its partnership with Google, tech giant Apple will be powering its next-generation Siri AI using the search engine's Gemini models. According to reports, this collaboration aims to provide users with an even more personalized experience when interacting with their devices.
The news comes as no surprise, given Apple's initial interest in partnering with OpenAI and Anthropic for Siri. However, Google emerged as a strong contender earlier this year, offering its custom version of Gemini that would run on private cloud servers at a whopping $1 billion annually. It seems that the two companies have opted for a multi-year collaboration instead.
Under this partnership, Apple Foundation Models will be built using Google's Al technology, providing the most capable foundation for future AI features. The company is excited about the innovative experiences this will unlock for its users, and has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining industry-leading privacy standards.
While no official release date has been announced, a genAI version of Siri was demoed at WWDC 2024. Apple initially delayed a major update but appears to be readying it for later this year. The integration of Gemini's models will likely provide significant improvements in AI capabilities, making Siri an even more formidable voice assistant.
The move marks a significant shift in Apple's strategy, as the company continues to build its AI muscle. With Google on board, expectations are high that future Apple Intelligence features will be able to tap into the vast potential of human knowledge like never before.
